lisov135 [29]

Answer:

6cm

Step-by-step explanation:

$A = \frac{h_b b}{2}$

$38.4 = \frac{12.8_b b}{2}$

$b = 2\frac{A}{h_b}$

$b = 2\frac{38.4}{12.8}$ = 6

jeka57 [31]

Answer:

We would advise her to choose Country Route because in this route time consistent between 15 and 18 minutes.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that Jean lives about 10 miles from the college where she plans to attend a 10-week summer class. There are two main routes she can take to the school, one through the city and one through the countryside.

Jean sets up a randomized experiment where each day she tosses a coin to decide which route to take that day. She records the following data for 5 days of travel on each route.

Country Route - 17, 15, 17, 16, 18 (in minutes)

City Route - 18, 13, 20, 10, 16 (in minutes)

Now, we have to decide which route is better for Jean to go to college.

As we can see from the data that the Country route timings is consistent between 15 to 18 minutes which means most of the times she will reach college between these minutes only.

While on the other hand, we can observe that City route timings are very much consistent as it has a low value of 10 minutes and high value of 20 minutes which means Jean can't be sure that at which time she will reach college.

Hence, we would advise her to choose Country route.

Marat540 [252]

Answer: $33.00

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Mr. Claussen needs 15 Pounds of ground beef

It is stated that 2 pounds of beef cost $4.40

Using unitary method

1 Pound cost $\frac{4.4}{2}=\$2.2$

For 15 pounds it is

$\Rightarrow 15\times 2.2=\$33$

Thus, he has to spend $33 for 15 pound meat

Christina wants to compute the cost of tiling the floor in her bathroom. The floor measures 7 feet 6 inches by 8 feet 10 inches.

ArbitrLikvidat [17]

Answer:

Two boxes will cost $\$35.95\cdot 2=\$71.9.$ The cost of one tile is approximately $\dfrac{\$71.9}{67}\approx \$1.08.$

Step-by-step explanation:

Note that 1 ft = 12 in, then

$7\ ft\ 6\ in=7\cdot 12+6\ in =90\ in,\\ \\8\ ft\ 10\ in=8\cdot 12+10\ in=106\ in.$

The area of the floor is

$90\cdot 106=9540\ in^2.$

Now

$1\ ft^2=144\ in^2,$

then

144 sq. in - 1 tile,

9540 sq. in - x tiles.

Mathematically,

$\dfrac{144}{9540}=\dfrac{1}{x},\\ \\x=\dfrac{9540}{144}=66.25$

tiles is needed to cover the floor (67 full tiles).

Each box of tiles contains 45 tiles, so Cristina has to buy 2 boxes. These two boxes will cost $\$35.95\cdot 2=\$71.9.$ The cost of one tile is approximately $\dfrac{\$71.9}{67}\approx \$1.08.$

What is the solution to the equation 8 - 2b = -2/3(12b + 6)?

Delvig [45]

<span>8 - 2b = -2/3(12b + 6)
8 - 2b = -8b -4
8 + 4 = -8b + 2b
12 = -6b
b = -12/6
b = -2

So, your final answer is b = -2</span>
